I won’t throw trash into bin lorries again, says man

VINCENT DOYLE believed he had found a foolproof way of getting rid of his household rubbish without paying local authority waste charges, a judge has been told.

He would simply dispose of it personally — by throwing it into the back of waste collection lorries as they passed his home in Ventry Drive, Cabra, Dublin, Judge Terence O’Sullivan heard.

The plan had apparently gone so well at first that neighbours also decided they would similarly dispose of their rubbish, Carol O’Farrell, counsel for Dublin City Council told the Circuit Civil Court.
